Ram Upgrate on 945gzt-m motherboard

I am planning to set 1 GB DDR2 667MHz ram on
this board because I can’t find 533MHz in the place where I live. Does any one
have try to set a faster ram than specification by manufactured and how the motherboard behaves? Does it going to break it or
it will lower the speed of the ram to her optimum working level?

Sometimes motherboards have the option through BIOS to change bus speeds, but not the memory chips. Usually, the wrong speed will just not work. It won't fry anything, it will just give you long beeps and won't boot up. I've not put any onto a board like yours, but I did try 667MHz chips with one I had with the same memory specs (400/533MHz) as yours and they did not work. You might consider mail order. Newegg.com has pretty good prices. They are very reputable and have very good customer service.

Your mobo is quite old and its chipset can only support a maximum of 512MB PER SIDE (technically called a bank) of a memory module. I would guess that your 1gb memory module has 8 chips that are all located on one side of the module, putting all of the 1 GB on one bank. Thus, only 512MB of your 1 gb RAM is detected and usable by your motherboard (the remaining 32 mb is most likely being used by your onboard video). You'll need to find a double sided 1 gb memory module (usually 8 chips on each side).

YOU HAVE TO CALL THE MANIFACTURE OF YOU PRODUCT AND ASK TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM WILL SUPPORT MORE MEMORY

LETS SAY YOUR USING VISTA 32BIT, SHARE VEDIO UP TO 860MB, MOST SYSTEMS WILL ALLOW 3-4 GB, BUT SOME MANIFACTURE SYSTEMS MAY ONLY ALLOW 1 GB RAM, THE BOARD MANIFACTURE MAY SUPPORT 4GB BUT THE MANIFACTURE MAY ONLY ALLOW 1-4 GB OF RAM.
